Only in bad novels. This looks like local criminals, of which there are many in Kenya.

My 'mag filling hack' was to load one round at a time, from a pile of rounds in my hat/helmet, without holding a handful of rounds while you're doing it. Kind of like that video. But hold the mag on your thigh with your left hand (if you're right handed) and feed the rounds in with your right...

Heads exploding everywhere... Beards in British Army under constant review amid rumours of rule change The British Army has said its dress and appearance policy is "under constant review" amid reports it could be about to relax its rules on beards to aid recruitment. The Army is supposedly...

The CAF wouldn't be called out if the Provinces hired enough Wildland Fire Fighters, most of the time. If, as in 2017, it looked like they had to evacuate Williams Lake, absolutely the CAF could be deployed to help out with that uniquely challenging situation. But fire clean up duties? Anyone...

About time...

Or, when unit leadership is crappy, they go to minimum parading to avoid NES while waiting for the guard to change when they magically 'find more time' and reappear ;)

Technically. But you just try and get some of those (stoopid) online mandatory tests done 'on the company dime'. A huge amount of work in the ARes gets done well outside of parade hours at the armoury etc, largely unrecognized of course ;)

This. Don't go ED&T if you can avoid it. It's a colossal PITA for both you and the BOR staff. One parade a month should keep you off the NES list. With four weeknights, and one weekend, a month to choose from you should be able to attend at least one full day.
